so i figured i would give it a try, so far so good. it does ‘seem’ much faster, and to have a smaller footprint, while i haven’t done any measurements, its likely to all be in my head.
i’m testing driving it on my slackware-current machine, and packaged it using volkerding scripts for the current firefox stable, in slackware-current/source/mozilla-firefox/.
then only relative script/diff changes were for the version change.
mozilla-firefox-3.0b5-i686-1.tgz
